I noticed today's paper has only dead people on the cover. Saddam Hussein and Gerald Ford. It is symbolic because it is the last day of the year. My mom also died this morning in her sleep. The end of the year. The metaphorical winter of life. All came together today.

Brandon, washing his hands before his flight to Japan to visit his girlfriend's parents. Other than visiting parents, he plans to bath in hot springs with snow monkeys, and buy me a set of magnetic therapy head magnets (that a local bike messenger explained the workings of to us).

I was drinking coffee on the porch thinking about my job-getting strategy. A man walked to the New Hampshire mart and I felt that he had less to worry about than me. Then he walked back carrying a Big American Beer in a brown bag at 1030am.Then I felt better about myself.Then I remembered while I was checking my email in the morning I drank half a glass of beer that was setting there from the night before w/ out thinking much about it.It smelt good.

While I drank a cup of coffee this morning I ran out to the corner paper box and did something I rarely do, bought a paper. It was just to see a picture I took of my friend M.E. Sprengelmeyer in the Style Section of the Post. Sprengelmeyer and his Jack-Abramoff-suit-buying antics are making me and him famous!
